What’s better

Like I'm self aware and know I have a LOT to learn and am far from a pro but like…I understand that knowledge is mine for the taking for well documented electronics from 40+ years ago. If you're bringing questions, it's best to have educated questions to ask.

I know I didn't know shit when I came in, in 2022. But I learned very quickly after asking some dumb stuff that with applied deductive reasoning and the right tools, you really can solve like 90% of problems yourself minus higher than advanced monitor/PCB troubleshooting. Then I come to the Gen X'ers on here for the rest. It's okay to not know something. I didn't know how to throw a grenade before basic training. 🤷‍♂️ But self-study and asking experts to fill in the gaps goes a long way.

I saw it here earlier and I learned that here, honestly, the hard way those years ago "people here will help people who help themselves".

Well said. This really is the key to unlocking this whole forum.

The people who leave here in frustration, and/or bad talk this place, are people who failed to learn this. (Mainly because they were taught poor netiquette habits by places like Facebook, which conditions people to do the opposite of helping themselves.)
 
So zi am getting the bestech back on Saturday. I do not want to send it out again. How do I ground the wires? It once had a connector that connected to the neckboard. That is now gone thanks to-------.

So you sent it out for repair again? To the same person who repaired it for free last time?
 
If we forget the past we repeat the same mistakes. Who did you send it out to this time? You should ask for instructions on installing it with the repair
